Will this lip scrape on driveways or speed bumps?

The MSR design sits closer to the bumper than radical splitters, but ground clearance depends on your vehicle's suspension setup and ride height. Check the lip's lowest point against your driveway angle and any known trouble spots before and after install — that's the best way to confirm your specific clearance.

Can FRP flex, or is it rigid?

FRP is rigid panel material — it does not deflect under normal driving or light contact. It will crack if struck hard enough, but everyday road vibration and suspension movement won't cause flex or stress fractures. Sand and prep the surface before paint to ensure good adhesion and finish durability.

What do I need to do to prep this for paint?

Sand the surface to remove the factory gloss and open the gelcoat for primer adhesion. Wipe down with a tack cloth to remove dust, then apply your chosen primer and finish coats. The assembly ships ready for this process — no additional treatment is needed before you begin prep work.
